Wishing I Was 23

↞chapter twenty one↠

Lanie's POV:
*one month later*
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Ok, so right now I'm backstage at R5's concert in Dublin. Riker told me there was gonna be a surprise, so I'm soooo excited!
"Ok, R5family, I have a surprise for someone," Rocky said into the microphone. "Justice, could you come here?" Justice approached Rocky and he continued. "Justice, we've been dating for a while now, and I can't imagine my life without you." Riker started singing Without You. O. MY. GOSH. "I wanted to ask you here because I believe we have another very special memory here. So Justice, will you marry me?" I started crying. The R5family started crying. Justice started crying. I'm pretty sure the angels in heaven were crying. Justice finally croaked a yes, and the place erupted in cheers. They all exited the stage, and I went over to Rocky and Justice to congratulate them. After talking to them for a minute, I felt arms wrap around my waist. I smiled, but I was still shedding a few tears from the proposal. I turned around, and Riker wiped my tears and kissed my forehead.
"Hey, love," Riker said, shedding a tear.
I wiped his tear away and said, "Aww. Riker, please don't cry."
"I can't help it. My baby brother's getting married before I am."
"Not my fault you haven't pop the question yet," I said and laughed. He smiled at me and laughed.
"Nah. I think I'm good with my relationship for now, but I do looooove my girlfriend," he said.
"I love you too."
Rydel walked up and said," Now one down, four more Lynch's to go." Ellington came over and kissed her cheek.
"Not too long until everybody's gonna be married," Ell said.
"Noooo! Ellington, stop making me cry!" said a randomly appearing Stormie.
"Mama!" I said, hugging Stormie. After my parents died, I started calling Mark and Stormie, dad and mama. My parents will always be my parents, but they've treated me like their own and I can't help but feel the same.
*next day in Leeds, U.K.*
The concert was nearly over, but suddenly I was called onto the stage. I went out, and most of the crowd screamed. None of the fans knew about our relationship yet, but we were the biggest ship besides Rydellington. I stood beside Riker, and Ellington dragged Rydel center stage.
"Rydel, I want to tell you how much I love you. I loooooooove you. You are my best friend, my girlfriend, and my rock, but I realized I need to change something. Rydel Mary Lynch, would you take this rock and change your last name to Ratliff?" Everyone laughed at Ell's dorkiness but still managed to cry.
"Oh my gosh! Yes!!!!!" Rydel said. Ellington put the ring on her finger and kissed her.
"I wanted to propose to Rydel soon, and I figured why not let the next concert get some action?" Ellington said.
I got up to the microphone and said, "Both of these proposals have been adorable, but I must ask. Where's my rock?"
"RIKER! PROPOSE ALREADY!!!" some random fangirl said. We all laughed, but Riker had other plans.
He got down on one knee, trying not to laugh, took one of his rings that I knew to be his favorite, and said, "Elaine Rose Shadows, you are my love, my universe, and my best friend. I love you to infinity and beyond. Will you marry me?" The scream of fangirls were heard as I nodded my head. He slid the ring on my finger and kissed me as Ellington had done moments before. I think people in Thailand could hear the screams. After Riker pulled back, he went back to the microphone, "Weren't expected that now, were you?"
